Caribbean

Travel with kids in the Caribbean is a mosaic of kid-friendly sun and sand, gentle breezes, lush landscapes and welcoming people. The names are famous: traditional family-friendly locations like the Bahamas, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the British Virgin Islands, and more intimate resort destinations like Anguilla, the Cayman Islands, and Turks & Caicos. Children love swimming, snorkeling and sand castles and the Caribbean offers them in abundance. But across the Caribbean you’ll also find plenty of chances for hiking, sailing, fishing, and exploring landmarks like lagoons and waterfalls. Plus the markets, the food, the colorful villages-in a Caribbean family vacation, your kids will find all the sun and fun they need.

Family hotels in the Caribbean come in many sizes from grand, child-friendly hotels and oceanfront resorts to full-service villas.
